About our toilet chip repair in Akeld

Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that is what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Whether it’s chips on the cistern lid and marks on the outside of the pan, we can help, on pedestals, cisterns & lids and porcelain alike.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A crack that leaks water
  • A crack through the bowl or trap
  • A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

  • Porcelain
  • Toilet pans
  • Pedestals
  • Cisterns & lids
  • Vitreous china

When to call us in Akeld

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Chips on the cistern lid
  • Marks on the outside of the pan
  • Pieces knocked off during fitting
  • Chips on the pan or rim

Choosing a repair company

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking.

What you get with us

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

Akeld: your questions answered

Can you repair a chipped toilet?

Yes. Chips to the pan, rim, cistern and lid are the most common jobs.

Do you work in Akeld?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Akeld. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do you cover the whole of Northumberland?

We cover the whole UK, including Akeld and the rest of Northumberland. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

What information do you need?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

Can you price it without visiting?

Generally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

What happens on the day

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes one to two hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. We sand it flush.
  4. The glaze is colour matched and finished.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Advice

What affects the price in Akeld

Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Akeld. The price depends on:

  • The material
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many items we do on one visit

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from photos

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • The material, if you know it
  • A wider photo showing the entire toilet
  • Natural light rather than flash

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

For landlords and businesses

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
